Chapter 547: Invasion

Inside the massive starship, Hatz looked at the world floating silently in the void far away and said in a flat, unruffled tone: "Lu Gartim, I didn't expect Lord Regarzewa to actually send you to follow me."

The existence named "Lu Gartim" was a humanoid machine roughly five meters tall. Upon hearing Hatz's words, a mechanical laugh immediately issued from his mouth: "After all, it is a world where a special individual exists. My lord thought it would be better to be careful."

"True enough."

Hatz naturally knew that the one beside him had come to monitor him, but he wasn't stupid enough to expose that fact—just as that lord likewise hadn't exposed the fact that he was a spy.

After tacitly skipping past this topic, Hatz was the first to bring up business: "Lord Regarzewa's judgment was correct. This world really is very strange—its exterior is actually wrapped in a layer of space."

"And whether it's because of this or not, the fleet can only gather extremely limited intelligence."

Hearing this, Lu Gartim's pair of electronic eyes immediately flickered: "Is that so? Looks like this mission won't be as boring as I imagined."

As for his reaction, Hatz was long past being surprised, and simply continued: "According to the intelligence gathered by the fleet, this world contains creatures called 'dragons,' and the strongest beings in the entire world are creatures of this race."

As he spoke, this mechanical lifeform pointed at the quiet world in the distance: "See that big fellow over there? That's it."

Following the direction Hatz indicated, Lu Gartim quickly spotted a red great dragon patrolling in the Outer layer of the world.

"Is the special individual Lord Regarzewa is looking for it?"

"Don't know. The fleet only gathered this much information, but judging from the identity of its strongest being, it should be it."

As Hatz's words fell, the interior of the starship immediately fell silent.

After quite a while like this, Lu Gartim spoke: "Then let's set out. Don't disappoint Lord Regarzewa."

"Alright."

After both commanders issued the advance order, the fleet immediately set course for the distant world.

After destroying countless planets, the 【Hegemonic Evil Ghost-God Fleet】 already possessed an extremely detailed procedure for invading a world.

Basically, senior executives would step in and eliminate all the strong beings on the planet, and then the fleet would clean up the battlefield.

Of course, if Regarzewa took a notion, he would also take the field personally—but in that case there'd be no need for the fleet to clean up the battlefield, since whether the planet could still exist would be a question mark.

In silence, the fleet led by Lu Gartim and Hatz had already entered the Outer layer of the world.

But the moment they entered this space, the former said with some uncertainty: ". I think I smell those elven gods."

"You serious?"

Hatz instantly furrowed his brow tight.

If that were the case, the situation would be somewhat complicated.

After all, the reason their lord hadn't followed the fleet out on campaign was precisely because he needed to guard against those high-ranking elven gods causing trouble.

And from this alone, one could see just how powerful those self-styled righteous good gods truly were.

Just as he was troubled by this, Lu Gartim couldn't help but shake his head slightly: "Might just be some contact. After all, this kind of situation has happened before."

". True."

After a brief consideration, Hatz accepted Lu Gartim's assessment.

At the end of the day, the reason the fleet chose to attack this world was because of Lord Regarzewa's whim. Those elven gods couldn't possibly have made a judgment in advance and then set an ambush in this world.

Thinking this, he immediately relaxed, and the electronic components across his body slowly cooled down: "Those guys really are lingering ghosts, but thinking this alone can stop the fleet is a bit too laughable."

Hearing this, Lu Gartim nodded in agreement.

Just as he was about to say something, a massive red figure suddenly appeared ahead of the fleet.

"Outsiders, this world does not welcome you. Leave this place at once!"

The Great Red looked at those metal constructs he had never seen before in the distance and issued a warning in an extremely stern tone.

Unfortunately, in the eyes of Hatz and the other, these words were nothing but a weakling's intimidation.

Lu Gartim came to the exterior of the starship, his pair of electronic eyes quietly observing the red great dragon opposite: "You are the strongest being of this world?"

"Whether I am or not is none of your business. Leave this place at once, outsiders!"

The Great Red snorted, and an earsplitting roar immediately burst from his mouth.

Unfortunately, Lu Gartim was not frightened by it. Instead, he said with some disappointment: "Too weak. I thought a being who could tear off an attached plane would be so much stronger. Didn't expect it was only at this level."

As he spoke, a massive engine roar began to emanate from his body.

"I am one of the Jidu Tianhai under Lord Hegemonic Evil Ghost-God, 【Heavenly King】 Lu Gartim."

"Remember my name, then go die."

As his words fell, before the Great Red could react, Lu Gartim struck without hesitation.
